Q^WWW^ 


BY  CHARLES  R.  JONES. 


Y  WAY  of  proper  introduction  of  the  VVork  which  is  now 
^^^^  presented  to  the  business  community  of  Charlotte  and  vi" 
•::^vX^  cinity,  and  which  is  intended  more  to  be  a  commercial 
history  of  Charlotte  than  any  thing  else,  it  has  been  thought  emi- 
nently proper  to  introduce  the  reader  to  the  objects  of  the  book  by 
a  short,  clear  and  concise  history  of  the  livest  city  in  the  State  of 
Xorth  Carolina,  if  not  in  the  South. 

The  writer  is  profoundly  sensible  of  the  magnitude  of  the  under- 
taking, and  regrets  that  sufficient  time  i"?  not  allowed  to  dwell  more 
at  length  upon  the  subject  under  consideration.  At  some  future 
time  the  proprietors  propose  to  repeat  the  effort  to  get  up  a  Directo- 
ry of  the  thriving  little  city  of  Charlotte,  and  at  that  period  a  better 
time  and  opportunity  will  present  itself  for  enlarging  upon  the  ideas 
and  thoughts  now,  for  the  first  time  hastily  and  imperfectly  thrown 
together.  With  these  few  remarks  as  an  apology  the  writer  com- 
mits himself  to  the  task  before  him  : 

Eighteen  hundred  and  seventy-five!  Magic  words.  They  carry 
with  them  the  history  of  Charlotte  since  the  15th  day  of  January, 
Anno  Domini  1 707— the  indelible  marks  made  on  the  pages  of  mod- 
ern annals  for  one  hundred  and  eight  years,  and  which  are  pregnant 
with  import  today.  They  carry  us  back  to  the  traditions  of  the 
14 


130 

past,  when  the  surrounding-  countiy,  now  the  most  prosperous  of 
any  p  )rtion  of  Nm;,Mi:T!ra.rbJina,  was  inhabited  by  tlie  red  men  of  the 
forest;  who  gaUs^'ed  around  their  camp  fires,  in  the  dim  twilight  at 
evening,  to  sn^ke  the  e:iluiiiet  of  peace,  or  to  take  counsel  together 
md  prepare^r  warfare  upon  tJie  pale  face,  who  had  invaded  their 
hunting  gjrounds.     We  write  t«jclay  of  the  place 

"  Where  on  the  red  umn's  faded  trail, 

The  erifiiiie  smokes  m^d  raves, 
And  city  lots  are  stakecT^ur  salt 

Above  aUL- In d i a n  y 

ighteen  hundred  and  seventy-fil^e— these  talismanic  figures  carry 
us  back  beyond  the  time  when  them  had  been  no  Mecklenburg  Dec- 
laration of  Independence,  and'^^befom  a  generation  of  freemen  had 
been  born  on  the  Western  Continenl.  They  recall  the  time  when 
{Charlotte  was  a  cross  roads  stopping  ©lace,  for  the  weary  horseback 
traveler,  or  where  the  sturdy  tScotchilrish  yeoraenry,  who  in  a  few 
generations  changed  the  face  of  the  cJuntry  from  a  howling  wilder- 
ness to  a  fertile,  well  regulated,  prosperous  agricultural  and  commer- 
cial community,  and  where  these  earjlj'  settlers  met  periitdically  to 
participate  in  general  muster  of  the  Hiilitia,  or  in  the  absence  of  rail- 
road and  telegraphs,  and  with  u'mil  facilities  little  belter  than 
none,  to  talk  over  the  events  of  tli/^day. 

The  city  of  Charlotte  was  narn^  in  honor  of  Charlotte  Augusta, 
daughter  of  Queen  Carolinea*m  George  IV.,  and  who  was  one  of  the 
most  beautiful  andjiccuwrpTished  princesses  of  the  Georgian  dy- 
nasty, and  in  early  times  it  was  situated  by  nature  at  the  intersec- 
tion of  the  principal  highways  of  travel.  One  road  leading  from  the 
mountain  country  of  Western  Carolina,  to  the  markets  of  Fayette- 
ville  in  this  State,  and  Cheraw,  Camden,  and  even  Charleston,  in 
South  Carolina,  at  what  is  now  known  as  Independence  Square,  at 
the  infensection  of  Trade  and  Tryon  streets,  this  old  thoroughfare 
was  crossed  by  a' highway  equally  as  in)portant,  leading  from  the 
settlements  in  the  then  far  West,  eastward  to  the  towns  of  Salisbury, 
Greensboro,  Hillsboro,  Ealeigh,  Newberne,  &q.,  and  it  was  early 
noted  for  the  success  of  those  of  its  inhabitants  who,  in  its  earliest 
days,  chose  to  engage  in  tavern  keeping. 

The  surrounding  country  was  settled  t)y  the  Scotch  Irish,  and  early 
took  the  lead  in  the  erection  of  schools  and  churches,  and  long  before 
the  present  city  of  Charlotte  was  laid  out  as  a  town,  an  academj', 
called  Queen's  College  wiisJoeated  here,  which  was  the  chief  seat  of 
learning  at  that  time  in  all  the  Southern  States.  And  although 
Queen's  College  is  now  only  remembered  through  the  dim  light  of 
tradition,  that  noble  institution  of  learning  which  sheds  its  benig- 
nant light  throughout  this  whole  section  of  country  at  Davidson 
College,  may  be  said  to  be  its  lineal  successor,  and  which  is  ably  aid- 
ed in  the  cause  of  education  by  the  Carolina  Military  Institute,  the 
Charlotte  Institute  for  young  ladies,  the  City  Graded  School,  presi- 
ded over  by  Rev.  J.  B.  Boone,  and  the  schools  of  Capt.  W.  A.  Bar- 
rier, and  others. 

The  County  of  Mecklenburg  was  formed  from  the  County  of  An- 
son in  the  year  1762,  and  in  1767  the  town  of  Charlotte  was  located. 
The  original  deed  conveying  the  tract  of  land  upon  which  the  City 
now  stands,  was  signed  by  George  Augustus  Selwyn,  by  his  agent, 
Henry  E.  McCulloch,  the  ]5th  day  of  January,  1767,  and  contained 
three  hundred  and  sixty  acres,  in  the  following  words: 

"To  all  to  whom  these  Presents  shall  come,  Greeting-: 

Know  ye  that  George  A.  Selwyn,  by  Henry   E.  McCulloch.  for  and  in  con- 
consideration   of  the   sum  of  ninety  pounds  lawful  money,  and  for  other  good

Soon  aftei-  the  town  was  laiffout  a  small  logf  building  was  erected 
at  what  is  now  the  intersectiol  of  Trade  and  Tryon  streets,  and  im- 
mediately in  the  center  of  wlat  is  now  known  as  Independence 
Square.  This  buildino:  was  101%  used  as  a  court  house  and  for  church 
purpo-ses.  In  1871,  the  war  between  Harmon  Husbands  and  the 
Regulators  of  Alamance  countv%and  Governor  Tryon,  Provisional 
Governor  of  what  was  then  kiiowivas  the  Colony  of  the  Carolinas, 
commenced,  and  soon  Ibund  active  synipathy  among-  tiie  patriotic 
people  living  in  the  vicinity  of  Charlotte.  This  symi)athy  in  behalf 
of  the  Alamance  Regulators  became  so  great,  and  the  desire  to  ab- 
solve allegiance  to  the  mother  country,  became  so  strong  that  a 
series  of  meetings  of  the  citizens  of  the  county  was  held  during  the 
fall  of  1774,  and  the  Spring  of  1775,  to  consider  what  was  best  to  be 
done.  Tradition  informs  us  that  at  a  meeting  which  convened  in  Char- 
lotte on  the  19th  day  of  May,  1775,  and  which  was  protracted  until 
the  21st,  solemnly  and  formally  declared  Independence  from  the 
British  Crown,  and  which  is  now  claimed  to  be  the  first  Declaration 
of  American  Inde{)eiidence  ever  made  on  American  soil.  This  Dec- 
laration was  probably  hastened  by  hearing  of  the  news  of  the  battle 
of  Lexington  and  Concord,  in  Massachusetts.  These  battles  were 
but  a  repetition  of  the  battle  of  Alamance,  in  jS'orth  Carolina,  and 
had  no  object  of  Independence  in  view,  but  the  sequel  proved  that 
the  colonists  were  ripe  for  revolution,  and  that  the  people  of  .Meck- 
lenburg were  first  to  catch  the  spirit  of  inspiration,  and  proclaim  to 
the  world  their  devotion  to  principle,  pledging  their  "  word,  their 
fortune  and  their  most  sacred  honor  "  in  their  maintenance. 

"Phere  have  been  those  wlio  would  rob  the  old  North  State  of  her 
merited  glory  in  regard  to  this  immortal  action  of  the  patriots  of 
1875.  NorthCarolina  herself  has  given  birth  to  sons  who  would 
tear  the  burnished  jewel  from  the  diadem  of  their  old  motlier,  but 
we  who  live  atnong  the  trailitions  of  the  past  century;  who,  uninflu 
enced  by  the  sympathies  of  partisanship,  are  willing  to  take  the 
facts  as  they  stand  recorded  on  the  written  and  unwritten  pages  of 
history,  cannot,  dare  not  disbelieve  that  Dr.  Brevard  wrote  the  first 
dednration  of  Independence,  which  was  ever  inspired  by  the  iove 
of  liberty  in  an  American  heart,  and  that  this  declaration  was  duly 
signed  by  the  delegates  assembled  and  enthusiastically  ratified  on 
the  2()th  day  of  ^lay,  1875,  by  the  people  then  and  there  assembled. 
Writing  as  "we  are  almost  on  the  eve  of  the  Centennial  Anniversary 
of  that  most  eventful  and  important  occasion,  with  the  experience 
and  traditions  of  a  hundred  years,  and  at  a  time  when  extraordinary 
preparations  are  being  made  to  observe  the  anniversary  with  proper 


132 

honors,  none  but  an  insane  person  could  doubt  it.  But  this  is 
neither  time  nor  place  to  vindicnte  or  support  this  or  that  theory. 
Be  ours  the  duty  to  give  facts  and  pass  on 

The  town  of  Charlotte  was  during  the  long  seven  years  war  for 
Independence,  which  followed  the  declaration,  al  one  time  in  the 
hands  of  the  British,  who  met  with  such  opposition  among  the  |)eo- 
l>\e,  that  one  of  their  chief  officers,  in  derision  designated  them 
"  hornets."  This  appellation  to-day  so  far  from  being  a  term  of  con- 
tempt, is  regarded  by  the  people  as  one  of  honor  and  patriotism^ 
and  as  such  must  be  handed  down  to  future  generations. 

At  this  late  day  it  is  almost  impossible  to  go  back  and  gather  up 
the  hi.story  of  Charlotte  further  than  for  fifty  or  sixty  years,  except 
on  such  rare  and  important  occasions  as  the  L'Uth  .May,  1875,  and  it 
may  be  said  that  the  history  of  the  place  whs  uneventful  for  the 
next  fifty  years  succeeding  that  date,  but  fifty  years  in  a  town  in 
North  Carolina  often  makes  a  very  material  difference,  and  Lhar^ 
lotte  proves  no  exception  to  tlie  rule 


CHARLOTTE  FIFTY  YEARS  AGO. 

The  chief  men  of  the  town  of  Charlotte  fifty  years  ago,  were  Jo- 
seph  Wilson,  John  Irwin,  Wm.  Davidson,  Wm,  Smith,  iSamuel  Mc-- 
Comb,  Dr.  David  R.  Dunlap,  Eli  Springs,  Robert  J.  Dinkens,  James 
Cowan,  Thomas  Vail,  Dr.  Robert  McKenzie.  Wm.  Carson,  John  Mc- 
Quag,  Dr.  Wm.  Long,  Green  Kendrick,  Samuel  Love,  .lames  Tor- 
rence,  W"m.  J.  Alexander,  Thomas  Wilson,  Allen  Baldwin,  Dr.  Sam- 
uel Henderson,  James  Hutchinson,  A.  (iraham,  John  Sloan,  Caleb 
Norwood,  Jame.s  T.  Asbury,  R,  M.  Sterling,  Wm.  Rudisjll,  Edward 
M.  Bronson,  Robert  Sloan  and  David  Parks.  '■'.    ?,.    / 

These  with  their  families  and  servants,  constituted  nearly  if  not 
quite,  the  entire  population  of  the  town  of  Charlotte. 

The  Court  House  stood  in  the  middlf^  of  the  piiblic  square,  formed 
by  the  intersection  of  Trade  and  Tryon  streets  |  it  was  a  square 
brick  building,  hipped  roof  (the  old  log  Iniilding  which  existed  in 
1775,  had  been  removed)  terminating  with  a  cupalo  on  top.  The 
whipping  post,  stocks  and  pillows,  stood  in  the  middle  of  the  street 
between  where  Walter  Brem's  hardware  store,  and  Burwell's  drug 
store  are  now,  in  full  view  of  the  judge's  bench,  where  he  could  see 
his  sentence  executed.  For  many  years  the  Sheriff  and  Clerks  of 
the  Superior  and  County  Courts,  and  Register  of  Deeds,  kept  their 
offices  at  their  houses  in  the  country.  The  Sheriff  was  James  Wil- 
son, who  lived  about  six  miles  from  town  on  the  lawyer's  road.  The 
Superior  Court  Clerk  was  Gen.  George  Graham,  who  lived  two  mWes 
and  a-half  west  from  town,  where  Mr.  Stewart  now  lives.  The 
County  Clerk  was  Isaac  Alexander,  four  miles  south>-east  of  Char- 
lotte in  the  Sharon  neighborhood.  The  Register  of  Deeds  was  Wm. 
B.  Alexander,  nine  miles  north  of  Charlotte.  All  these  offices  were 
kept  in  the  country  until  the  Legislature  pa.ssed  an  act  requiring 
them  to  be  kept  at  the  Court  House.  Then  it  was  that  the  upper 
story  of  the  Court  House  was  cut  up  into  offices,  and  thereby  spoil- 
ing the  only  good  ball  room  in  town,  as  all  the  public  balls  or  dances 
were  held  in  tlie  second  story  of  the  Court  House,  and  all  the  preach- 
ing was  done  in  the  lower  story  in  the  Court  room.  Ministers  of  all 
denominations,  when  they  came  to  Charlotte,  preached  in  the  Court 
House.  There  was  not  a  single  church  in  the  place,  nor  Avas  there 
a  minister  of  the  gospel  living  here.  The  nearest  preacher  was  Rev- 
Samuel  C.  Caldwell,  who  officiated  at  Sugar  Creek,  in  the  old  log 
church  that  stood  near  the  public  road  where  the  old  'grave  yard  i;?

iiiul  very  near  whe-re  the  ^ateentersthej^raveyard.  Mr.  Caldwell  was 
buried  under  the  spot  where  the  uld  pulpit'  stood.  That  was  the 
place  where  the  few  ehureh-goiiijj  people  of  Charlotte  generally  at- 
tended, when  there  was  no  preaching  in  the  Court  Hou.-e.  The  tirst 
church  built  in  Charlotte,  stood  on  the  ground  where  the  1st  Presby- 
terian Church  now  stands.  That  too  was  used  by  all  denominations 
of  ministers— and  it  was  built  without  reference  to  any  denon)ina- 
tion—and  remained  in  that  condition  until  it  was  tinally  put  in 
charge  of  the  Presbytery 

On  what  is  now  known  as  Second  Ward,  there  was  an  old  wooden 
building  standing  on  the  south  east  corner  of  Trade  and  Tryon  sts. 
known  as  the  old  Catterson  or  MiGibony  store-house.  It  was  a  two 
r-tory  building,  and  not  occupied  at  that  time.  JSonie  sears  after- 
wards it  was  titled  up  and  occupied  as  a  store  by  William  .-niith, 
who  was  also  post  master.  The  next  house  on  Tryon  was  an  old 
two  story  building  with  piazza  extending  into  the  street  and  whs 
occupied  by  Jatnes  Cowan,  as  a  store.  Next  to  that  and  joining  it, 
on  the  lot  now  occupied  by  the  Central  Hotel,  stood  another  old 
two  story  wooden  building  occupied  and  kept  as  a  hotel  by  old 
Thomas  Houston.  This  hotel  some  years  afterwards  wns  kmnvn  as 
the  Watson  House.  The  next  house  was  a  one  ■«tory,  with  sharp 
gable  end  to  the  street,  elevated  about  four  feet  from  the  ground,  this 
was  occupied  by  an  ol(»  batchelor,  John  McQuay,  as  a  grog  shop, 
where  nearly  all  the  bi^  fights,  (and  there  many  of  them,)  originated. 
The  next  house  below  was  known  as  the  wid(<w  Emerson's  Tavern, 
with  a  long  piazza  and  balcony  extending  over  the  side  walk,  or 
where  the  side  walk  is  now,  it  was  raised  s(une  three  or  four  feet 
trom  the  ground,  and  was  entered  from  the  street  by  tour  or  five 
steps.  This  house  stood  on  the  ground  or  vacant  lot  now  owned  by 
John  L.  Morehead,  on  Tryon  street.  The  next  house  stood  on  the  cor- 
ner of  what  is  now  known  as  Tryon  and  4th  street,  where  Carson 
it  Crier's  store  is,  and  w.ts occupied  as  a  hotel  by  Samuel  McComb  ;  it 
was  a  long  hou^e  two  stories,  i)ainted  white,  with  piazza  in  front  ex- 
tending tlie  whole  length.  This  Wiis  considered  the  principal  hotel 
of  the  town.  The  next  house  ^stood  on  the  lot  below,  and  was  an  old 
one  story  building,  owned  and  occupied  by  an  old  Dutch  woman 
named  Mi-s.  Jarret.  The  next  lot  below  was  vacant.  The  next 
house  stood  on  the  corner  where  Dr.  Bratton  now  lives  and  was 
known  as  the  Dr.  Thomas  Heriderson  hojse.  It  was  a  two  story 
building,  j)ainted  white,  and  was  the  last  house  on  that  side  of  Try' 
on  street.  The  ground  below  that  on  which  A.  B.  Davidson  now 
lives,  was  entirely  vacant,  and  called  the  old  College  Green,  wheie 
th.e  military  held  their  general  musters. 

.  On  south-east  corner  of  Trade  and  Tryon  streets  there  was  a  small 
house  used  as  an  office,  that  stood  on  the  street  half-way  down  what 
is  now  the  Central  Hotel  property.  That  was  the  last  house  on  that 
wide  of  Trade  street  ext«pt  to  Caleb  Norwood's  tanyard,  and  which 
is  now  the  dower  of  Mrs.  Brown.  The  old  buildings  were  burned 
on  the  IGth  April  of  the  present  year,  and  may  be  said  to  have  been 
the  last  house  of  which  we  write,  to  su'-cumb  to  the  ravages  of  time 
and  circumstances.  These  were  all  the  houses  standing  in  Second 
Ward,  except  a  few  stables  in  the  back  lots.  The  old  Queen's  Col- 
lege Spring  was  then  at  the  foot  of  a  very  steep  hill,  on  the  lots  now 
occupied  by  ]Mrs.  Gilford,  and  the  gas  works.  The  hollow  has  been 
tilled  up,  and  the  spring  walled  up  and  converted  into  a  well,  which 
is  now  used  by  Mrs.  Gifford. 

A   very  large  old   frame  building  stood  on  the  lower  end  of  the 
IIen<lerson  lot,  just  above  where  Mrs.  Oifibrd  now  lives,  which  was 


134 

said  to  he  tlie  remains  of  the  old  Queen's  College,  moved  there  by 
Dr.  Thomas  Henderson,  not  more  tlian  50  feet  from  its  original  posi- 
tion and  used  by  him  as  a  stable  and  barn. 

At  the  north  west  corner  of  Trade  and  Tryon  streets,  known  as 
the"  Irwin  corner,"  was  the  same  liouse  that  stands  thert-  now;  it 
was  occupied  by  John  Irwin,  but  his  undergone  many  clianges,bolli 
by  addition  and  ^ubstraction.  The  large  room  nnv  occupied  by  Dr. 
John  ;McAden,  as  a  drug  store  then  composed  Mr.  Irwin's  store 
room,  counting  room,  dining  room  and  parlor.  On  the  next  lot  lie- 
low  Tryon  street  known  as  the  "  David  Parks  lot,"  was  a  small  ouh 
story  brick  store-house  built  and  occupied  as  a  store  by  James  Tor- 
rence.  This  was  the  only  brick  house  in  Cliarlotte,  except  the 
Court  Hou-e.  The  next  lot  wasownedby  "Merchant  Billy  Allison," 
as  he  was  called,  who  kept  a  store  in  the  little  house  now  occupied 
as  a  shoe  maker  shop  by  Mr.  Cohn. 

The  next  lot,  now  known  as  the  "Owens  property,"  was  owned 
and  occupied  by  Archibald  Prew,  who  was  a  revenue  otHcer  and 
United  States  tax  collector,  and  had  a  large  store  about  where  James 
Harty's  dw^dling  house  stands.  The  next  lot,  where  Mrs.  John 
Springs  now  lives,  was  owned  and  occupied  by  a  man  named  Mitches, 
carriage  m^ker.  I'he  ne.xt  hou.se  was  the  jail  where  the  present  jail 
now  stands.  It  was  a  two  story  wooden  building,  painted  red  ;  there 
was  a  rough  fence  around  it  nor  was  tliere  any  of  the  lot  cleared, 
except  a  small  spot  where  the  jail  stood.  The  balance  of  it  was 
grown  up  in  bushes  and  large  trees.  The  ."^tatesville  road  turned  off 
from  the  Salisbury  roafi  just  about  where  the  Parsonage  stands,  and 
passed  in  rear  of  the  jail,  thence  a  straight  course  out  by  where 
Frank  Snider  lives.  The  next  house  was  on  the  lot  where  iiansom 
(rray  now  lives.  It  was  a  long  one  story  log  house,  with  a  partition 
in  the  middle.  One  end  was  used  as  a  dwelling  and  the  other  end 
as  a  hatter-shop,  and  belonged  to  a  man  named  Thomas  Capps 

There  was  no  other  liouse  on  Tryon  street  to  the  lot  now  owned 
and  occupied  by  Mrs.  Rufus  Johnston,  where  there  was  a  black- 
smith shop  which  stood  on  the  Salisbury  road,  and  a  log  dwelling 
hou.se  and  well  some  distance  in  the  rear.  This  was  owned  and  oc- 
cupied by  a  man  named  Dick  Mason,  who  owned  all  the  land  on 
that  side  as  far  as  the  branch  where  the  Lincoln  Depot  now  is. 

At  the  Irwin  corner,  and  down  on  Trade  street  West,  the  first 
house  below  the  Irwin  lot  was  tlie  Cowan  house,  a  long  wooden 
two-story  building,  with  piazza  and  balc(tny  extending  the  whole 
length,  overing  theground  wliere  thesidewalk  is  now  ;  then  outside 
of  that  in  front,  at)out  the  width  of  the  sidewalk,  or  some  eight  or 
ten  feet  distant  from  the  piazza,  stood  a  row  of  large  China  trees, 
extending  the  whole  lengtli  of  the  house.  Ttiis  house  occupied  the 
ground  now  covered  by  Richard  Moore's  tin  and  hardware  store," 
Frankenthall's  store  and  James  Harty's  ('hina  Store,  and  was  known 
as  the  "Cook  Tavern,"  where  General  Washington  lodged  on  his 
return  from  his  S()Uthern  tour,  after  the  Revolutionary  war. 

The  next  house  was  on  the  lot  now  occupied  by  Dr.  C.  J.  Fox,  but 
it  was  of  much  more  recent  date  than  the  other  part  of  the  town. 
It  was  built  by  Dr.  Robert  .McKluze,  who  lived  there  and  had  a 
large  practice  in  town  and  surrounding  country. 

There  was  no  other  hou.se  in  what  is  now  known  as  Fourth  Ward, 
except  Allen  Baldwin's,  who  lived  in  a  small  hou.seon  the  lot  where 
Dr.  Cureton  now  lives,  and  not  far  from  the  spot  where  Dr.  Cureton's 
house  now  stands.  Baldwin  was  a  tanner,  and  his  tan  yard  was 
where  Mr.  F.  A.  McNinch's  house  now  stands.  The  old  graveyard 
is  situated  in  this  ward,  where  all  the  old  citizens  of  the  town  were 


130 

ixu-ied,  aiul  among  tliein  was  Col.  Polk,  who,  it  is  said,  read  the  Dec- 
laration of  Independence  on  t!:e  :2()tli  of  May,  1775. 

On  the  corner  of  Trade  and  Tryon  streets, "now  occupied  by  ji^ranite 
row,  stood  an  old  building-,  owned  and  occuuied  by  VAm.  jiavid.'son. 
The  liouse  was  a  two-story  wooden  building,  painted;  the  corner 
room  of  the  tirst  story  was  used  as  a  store-room.  The  next  house 
was  a  small  wooden  building- at  the  lower  end  of  the  same  lot,  and 
stood  on  the  spot  where  Dal.  lligier'sconfectionery  now  stands.  This 
liouse  had  been  used  for  many  years  as  a  store  house,  and  then  u^ed 
as  a  banking  house— a  branch  of  the  old  Newbern  Bank,  VVm.  Da- 
vidson, Cashier  and  Manager ;  Duncan  Campbell  was  the  clerk  and 
Teller.  This  was  the  tirst  bank  established  in  Chailotte.  The  next 
adjoining- lot  on  Tryon  street,  where  tlie  First  >^atioMal  Dank,  and 
McAden's  building  n^AV  stands,  was  owned  and  occupied  by  Joseph 
Wilson,  a  distinguished  lawyer,  and  the  father  of  Mrs.  Wm!  I.  Alex- 
ander. On  the  lower  side  of  this  lot,  on  the  spot  now  covered  by 
tlie  banking  room,  was  a  store  house,  one  story,  occupied  subse- 
qently  by  David  Parks,  when  he  first  came  to  ('harlotte  It  was  also 
the  same  store  house  in  which  Green  Kendrick  did  business.  Next 
lielow  that,  and  adjoining-  this  store  house,  was  a  red  house  owned  by 
Wm.  Carson,  in  which  VVm.  Smith  carried  on  the  mercantile  busi- 
ness, for  many  years:  Wm.  Carson  also  had  a  store  there  afterwards. 
In  the  rear  (jf  this  store  house  was  a  building  used  by  Wm.  Carson,  as 
a  barter  shop,  where  nearly  all  the  hats  worn  in  the  county  were 
made,  and  wh^re  all  coon  skins  and  other  furs  were  sold.  The  next 
lot,  now  owned  by  Col.  Wm.  Johnston,  was  then  owned  and  occupied 
by  a  man  named  ]\IcBi  ide,  and  afterwards  by  Dr.  Long,  who  moved 
bacK  to  Salisbury.  The  next  lot  below  was  on  the  corner  of  Fourth 
and  Tryon  streets,  and  was  owned  by  Wm.  Smith,  who  lived  there 
with  his  family  until  he  died.  On  the  lower  side  of  the  same  lot  on 
Tryon  street,  stood  Wm.  Smith's  tailor  shop,  where  he  employed 
several  hands  and  carried  on  an  extensive  business.  On  the  spot 
where  Col.  H.  W.  Guion's  house  now  stands,  was  a  very  old  one-story 
log  iiouse,  weather-boarded  with  very  broad  plank;  the  fioor  was  on 
a  level  with  the  street.  Thi-s  house  was  occupied  by  old  .Mrs.  Wis- 
hart,  the  oldest  person  in  town.  The  next  house  was  an  old  log 
blacksmith  shop  that  stood  with  the  end  to  the  street,  on  the  lot 
where  Wm.  Boyd  now  lives,  below  Mr.'Guion's  lf)t.  On  the. same  lot 
a  little  back  from  the  street,  was  a  small  log  house,  in  which  the 
widow  of  Dr.  Bivens  then  lived  and  taught  a  little  school.  The  next 
and  last  house  on  Tryon  street,  was  a  long  one-story  house,  with  a 
piazza  in  front,  that  stood  on  the  corner  of  3d  and  Tryon  streets, 
where  Mrs.  Young's  house  now  stands,  and  was  occupiecl  by  a  tailor 
named  Duff  Walker. 

Go  back  to  the  Southwest  corner  of  Trade  and  Tryon  streets,  and 
down  the  side  of  Trade,  the  first  house  after  the  Davidson  corner 
hou.se  on  the  same  lot  was  a  two-story  log  house  u.sed  as  a  kitchen, 
that  stood  on  the  spot  now  covered  by  Koopmann's  store.  On  the 
lower  end  of  the  lot  where  Eobt.  F.  Davidson's  furniture  store  is 
now,  was  a  frame  house  with  end  to  the  street,  used  as  a  stable.  On 
the  lot  where  Jas.  H.  Henderson's  st(..re  is  now,  was  a  small  one  story 
house,  said  to  have  been  Joseph  H.  Wilson's  law  office,  when  he 
lived  on  the  McAden  lot.  The  next  and  last  hou.se  on  that  side,  was 
an  old  blacksmith  shop,  that  stood  on  the  corner  of  Trade  and  Church 
streets. 

Thf  re  were  no  other  houses  in  the  third  ward  except  a  gin  house 
that  stood  on  the  corner  of  the  lot  where  James  H.  Henderson  now 
lives,  and  a  few  stables  and  barns.

Such  was  Charlotte  only  a  half  century  aso,  and  we  have  dwelt 
somewhat  at  length  upon  it,  in  order  that  the  contrast  which  we 
shall  present  nereafter  of  Charlotte  as  it  is  now,  will  be  the  more 
apparent. 

CHARLOTTE  BECOMES  A  CITY. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  late  war  between  tlie  States  Charlotte  had 
grown  to  be  quite  important  in  the  sisterhood  of  towns  throughout 
the  South.  There  were  good  and  important  reasons  why  thisshould 
be  so,  prominent  among  which  was  the  fact  that  it  was  situated  in 
the  heart  of  a  rich  and  prosperous  agricultural  community.  There 
is  another  fact  whii-h  is  kown  to  day  only  by  a  few,  which  in  times 
past,  has  added  very  much  to  its  prosperity^  The  city  may  be  said 
U)  be  located  in  an  amphitheatre,  and  is  surrounded  with  a  circle  of 
hills  or  elevations,  or  more  properly  still  Of  gentle  undulations  in 
the  surface  of  the  topography  of  its  surroundings.  The  soil  is  rich 
in  gold  bearing  properties,  and  within  one  mile  from  the  public 
square  gold  mining  has  been  carried  on,  which  has  netted  soinething 
over  two  millions  of  d(»llars,  mo.st  of  which  has  gone  to  make  up 
the  wealth  of  the  city  in  times  past,  but  of  this  we  shall  speak  more 
fully  hereafter.  Besides  the  two  reasons  just  named,  we  may  state 
that  tne  character  of  the  people  which  Charlotte  and  vicinity  has 
produced,  may  be  added  as  a  guarantee  of  past,  pre.sent  and  con- 
tinued prosperity.  They  are  industrious  and  active  to  a  fault,  which 
under  ordinary  circumstances  always  brings  success. 

THE  UNITED  STATES  BRANCH  MINT. 

Within  a  radius  of  twenty  miles  from  Charlotte  there  are  not  less 
than  one  hundred  gold  mines,  and  we  have  the  best  authority  for' 
.saying  that  up  to  1848  (before  the  important  discovery  of  the  Cali- 
fornia gold  fields)  they  ju-educed  one-half  of  the  goUrcoined  in  the 
United  States.  Not  more  than  a  dozen  of  the.se  mines  are  now  in 
operation.  The  establishment  of  the  branch  mint  here  became  a 
necessity,  »n(l  in  the  year  183-5  an  Act  of  Congress  provided  for  its 
erection.  This  action  on  the  part  of  Congress  was  the  outgrowth  of 
a  long  and  persistent  agitation  in  the  gold  i)roducing  districts  of  this 
State  and  South  Carolina.  The  history  of  this  agitation  dates  back 
as  early  as  18o(l,  when  the  numerous  body  of  miners  in  the  counties 
of  Mecklenburg,  Gaston,  An.son,  Cabarrus,  Rutherford,  Davidson, 
and  Montgomery  loudly  complained  of  thee.xtortions  practiced  upoil 
them  in  selling  their  gold  to  the  merchants  or  to  the  banks,  and  of 
the  delay  incident  to  the  transportation  of  the  bullion  to  Philadelphia 
for  coinage,  four  months  oftentimes  elapsing  before  returns  were 
received.  These  complaints  induced  the  General  Congress  at  the 
session  of  IS30  to  appoint  a  special  committee  to  investigate  the 
subject.  This  cominittee  through  its  Chairman,  Gideon  Glenn,  made 
an  exceedingly  interesting  and  valuable  report.  Among  other  state- 
ments given  was  this:  that  the  annual  production  of  gold  of  this 
State  was  half  a  million  dollars,  the  cost  of  this  production  being 
estimated  at  $150,000;  a  mint  was  recommended. 

The  history  of  gold  production  in  North  Carolina,  however,  dates 
back  to  the  year  1799,  in  which  year  Conrad  Reed,  son  of  John  Reed, 
of  Cabarrus  Count.y,  found  a  piece  of  native  g<jld  ''as  large  as  a 
smoothing  iron;"  its  value  was  not  then  es'en  guessed,  and  it  was 
put  to  the  commonest  uses,  and  finally  sold  for  $8o0.  This  same 
locality,  the  Reed  Mine,  was  for  many  years  prolific  in  large  masses, 


"hr^

the  largest  indeed  known  till  the  discovery  of  gold  in  California  and 
Australia.  The  following  table  of  nuggets  found  at  the  Reed  Mine 
from  Wheeler's  History  ol"  North  Carolina  is  apropos:

In  the  meantime  large  areas  had  yielded  the  precious  melaLs  hi  unex- 
ami)led  ahundanee,  and  fresli  fields  were  perpetually  discovered  in  the 
more  Eastern  counties  and  westward  to  the  mountains,  to  the  North  in 
A'irginia  and  Southward  to  Alabama,  while  the  enterprise  of  the  miners 
led  them  to  the  discovery  of  the  veins,  the  sources  of  the  riches  they  had 
hitherto  extracted  from  the  "Placers." 

To  the  "old  inhal)itants  "  this  "tlush""  time  of  gold  mining  is  still  a 
fruitful  theme. 

The  efibrt  to  secure  a  Mint  was,  however,  unsuccessful  till  the  ilalc 
T  o^iven  above,  but  private  coinage  was  practiced  by  the  Bechtlers  of  Ruth- 
erfoi-dton.  These  coins,  or  more  properly  "tokens,"  were  honestly  pre- 
l)ared  and  had  a  large  circulation,  but  were  too  poorly  and  rudely  made 
either  to  wear  well  or  to  obviate  counterfeiting.  They  were  of  the  de- 
nominations of  $1.00  $2.50  and  $5.00.  At  pi'esent  they  are  rarely  met 
with. 

The  establishment  of  this  Mint  by  the  Act  of  March  3d,  1835,  was  se- 
cured only  by  a  species  "log  rolling,"  by  which  branch  Mints  were  also 
established  at  Dahlonega,  Ga.,  and  at  New  Orleans. 

*  This  Branch  was  opened  for  business  on  December  4th,  1837,  and  had 
an  encouraging  amount  at  once.  The  succeeding  years  also  showed  a 
large  amount  of  work. 

In  July,  1844,  the  Mint  was  bvn-nt  at  mid-day.  The  institution  barely 
sui-vived  this  disaster,  for  its  enemies  striving  to  make  it  a  party  as  well 
as  a  public  matter,  strenuously  opi)Osed  tlie  rebuilding  of  it.  The  unre- 
mitting endeavors  of  the  Hon.  I).  M.  Barringer,  who  then  represented 
this  District  in  Congress,  finally  triumphed  over  these  obstacles,  and  the 
vears  1845-'4t>  witnessed  the  erection  of  a  new  structure  (the  present 
building)  at  a  cost  of  about  $40,000. 

From  this  period  till  the  war,  the  history  of  this  Branch  was  unevent- 
ful. Its  business  was  not  large,  as  we  are  now  accustomed  to  speak  of 
Mint  operations,  or  as  we  see  them  practiced  at  Philadelphia  or  at  San 
Francisco,  nevertheless  this  centeijwas  an  important  source  of  the  circu- 
lating medium  of  the  conntrv.

THE  COMMERCIAL  INTERESTS  OF  CHARLOTTE. 

Up  to,  and  even  to  the  close  of  the  late  War,  the  commercial  inte- 
rests of  Charlotte  were  of  much  smaller  significance  than  they  now 
are.  Ten  years  of  trade  which  has  poured  into  her  lap  since  the  last 
gun  was  fired,  on  the  24th  day  of  April,  1865,  has  added  materially 
to  the  wealth,  influence,  prosperity  and  pro.spectsof  the  city  of 
Charlotte. 

There  is  no  channel  of  commerce  which  has  added  so  much  to  our 
wealth  as  the  cotton  interest;  and  in  mentioning  it  our  only  regret 
is  that  owing  to  the  limited  time  now  allowed  us,  and  the  limited 
space  at  our  command,  remarks  under  this  head  must  be  necessarily 
incomplete  and  imperfect.  He  who  would  write  up  a  subject  so 
voluminous,, and  so  important  in  the  past,  present  and  future  of  the 
city  of  Charlotte,  must  possess  a  fertile  mind  and  a  ready  pen.  It 
was  said  before  the  war  that  "King  Cotton*'  sat  in  the  sanctuary, 
and  ruled  the  commercial  destiny  of  men  with  a  magic  wand,  and 
his  presence  and  his  power  has  been  certainly  felt  in  Charlotte. 

Up  to  the  year  1852,  the  cotton  raised  in  the  vicinity  of  Charlotte 
found  a  market  by  being  hauled  to  Fayetteville,  Camden,  Cheraw, 
or  to  Charleston,  by  wagons;  or  found  a  market  among  a  small 
number  of  manufacturer.^.     At  that  time  the  then  village  of  Char- 


140 

lotte  was  introduced  to  the  commercial  world  by  the  completion  of 
the  Charlotte  and  Columbia  Railroad,  which  was  •^he  first  railroad 
ever  completed  to  Charlotte.  This  iron  chain  connected  at  once  with 
the  markets  of  the  world,  via  Charleston,  Wilmington  and  Ports- 
tnouth,  and  over  the  Wilmington  and  Manchester,  and  the  Wil- 
mington and  Weldon  railroads  to  the  northern  markets,  in  which 
condition  it  remained  until  the  completion  of  the  North  Carolina 
Railroad  in  lSo5,  after  which,  in  the  year  1859,  the  Western  Division 
of  the  Wilmington,  &  Charlotte  Ruth.  Railroad  was  extended  from 
Charlotte  to  Lincolnton,  which  railroad,  now  the  Carolina  Central 
has,  within  the  past  six  months,  been  completed  from  Wilmington 
to  Charlotte,  and  the  Western  Division  extended  to  Buffalo,  in 
Cleaveland  county.  In  I860,  the  Atlantic,  Tennessee  and  Ohio 
Railroad,  originally  intended  to  run  from  the  seaboard,  on  the  At- 
lantic Coast  at  Georgetown,  South  Carolina,  to  Jonesboro,  Ten- 
nessee, was  chartered,  and  the  following  year,  was  completed  be- 
tween Charlotte  and  the  village  of  Statesville,  on  the  Western 
North  Carolina  Railroad,  and  in  the  county  of  Iredell,  and  since 
the  war,  it  has  been  placed  upon  the  great  thoroughfare  of  trade 
and  travel  from  N(jrth  to  South,  by  the  construction  of  the  Rich- 
mond and  Atlant-J  Air  Line  Railroad,  connecting  Charlotte  with 
Atlanta,  Georgia,  thus  making  the  city  of  <'harlotte  one  of  the 
greatest  railroad  centres  in  the  Southern  States,  which  added  to  the 
fact,  that  it  is  situated  in  the  midst  of  one  of  the  finest  agricultural, 
mineral,  and  productive  regions  known  in  the  United  States,  and 
abounding  in  facilities  for  manufactories  blessed  with  a  salubrious 
climate,  equally  free  from  the  malarial  diseasesof  the  I  )wlands,  and 
the  influenzas  of  tiie  mountains,  and  peopled  with  a  hanly,  intelli- 
gent and  industrious  population,  making  it  a  nucleus  upon  which 
one  of  the  most  powerful  inland  cities  will  ever  be  constructed 
upon  this  continent.  But  to  return  to  the  cotton  interest,  which  is 
here  superior  to  all  others. 

The  rapid  growth  of  the  city  since  the  war  is  owing  greatiy  to  the 
fostering  fif  this  element  of  our  wealth  by  the  citizens  and  merchants 
of  Charlotte. 

The  scope  of  country  of  which  Charlotte  is  the  commercial  cotton 
centre,  or  more  properly  the  commercial  metropolis,  includes  a  scope 
of  country  covering  fourteen  counties  in  North  Carolina  and  at  least 
eleven  in  South  Carolina.  Our  railroads  have  been  zealous  in  foster- 
ing tb.e  cotton  interest  here,  and  step  by  step,  under  the  various 
influences  the  city,  as  a  cotton  market  has  advanced  until  she  has 
reached  the  exalted  position  of  being  the  first  and  principal  cotton 
market  in  the  State.  This  is  no  idle,  presumptive  boast,  and  one  of 
which  every  citizen  of  Charlotte  is  justly  proud,  and  is  proved  by 
by  the  report  o't'  the  city  officials,  whose  business  it  is  under  our 
municipal  regulations  to  attend  to  this  matter  alone. 

It  is  pleasant  for  us  to  contemplate  that  no  city  in  North  Carolina, 
or  even  in  the  South,  has  commenced  and  grown  with  a  steadier 
growtli  of  power  and  usefulness  than  that  of  which  we  write.  Fos- 
tered by  the  cotton  industries  we  have  been  able  to  build  up  such 
railroad  faciliti.es  as  to  take  a  place  in  the  front  rank  in  commerce 
among  the  cities  of  the  South.  Situated  as  wejiave  .said  in  the  centre 
of  a  highh'^  intelligent  and  thrifty  population,  the  city  has  always 
been  intimately  connected  with  agriculture,  as  the  principal  mart  of 
our  staple,|and  when  in  future  years;  when  we  shall  be  able  to  utilize 
the  God-given  privileges  with  which  we  are  blessed,  and  convert 
her  into  a  manufacturing  town,  as  will  most  assuredly  be  done,  we 
may  justly  look  forward  to  a  brighter  career  of  prosperity  than  has 


141 

ever  dawned  upon  us.  The  cotton  interest  always  has  and  always 
will  underlie  the  great  pillars  of  our  success,  and  that  we  have  pros 
pered;  that  the  fiirmers  have  been  encouraged  to  do  double  duty  by 
the  high  prices  of  tlie  sta|>Ie  in  this  market;  that  upon  the  whole 
we  liave  a  cheerful  retrospect,  and  a  still  more  hopeful  outlook  for 
the  future  is  owing,  in  the  main,  to  the  fact  that  this  industry  has 
been  sustained  and  encouraged  by  energy,  perseverance,  and  pluck 
on  the  part  of  both  producers  and  buyers  of  the  staple.,  which  has  in 
a  measure  made  the  city  of  Charlotte  what  it  is  to-day. 

Every  indjstry  has  its  history,  and  it  is  to  this  we  now  turn. 
About  a  quarter  of  a  century  ago  (and  this  brief  period  is  still  fresh 
in  the  minds  of  many  whose  names  may  be  found  in  another  part 
of  this  book),  the  cotton  trade  was  first  commenced  in  Charlotte. 
Up  to  that  time  whatever  cotton  was  produced  in  the  country  which 
was  not  consumetl  immediately  through  the  aid  of  the  old-fashioned 
loom,  wheel  and  cards  was  forced  to  seek  a  market  either|§in 
Charleston,  Cheraw,  Camden,  Fayetteville  or  Petersburg.  When 
the  completion  of  the  Charlotte  and  Columbia  Railroad  took  place 
in  1851^,  for  the  first  time  in  the  history  of  Charlotte  she  had  an  out 
l(-t — a  highway  to  the  sea.  Three  years  later  and  the  iron  chain 
which  connects  us  with  Norfolk,  Va.,  was  finished,  and  a  stimulus 
given  to  the  cotton  trade  which  no  other  advantage  could  have  con- 
ferred. Situated  at  the  terminus  of  both  roads,  competition  between 
them  at  once  enabled  the  cotton  dealer  here  to  pay  the  very  highest 
possible  price  for  the  staple.  Since  that  time  railroads  have  been 
added  to,  until  we  have  the  net  work  of  roads  alluded  to  in  a  former 
part  of  this  sketch.  Over  the  Richmond  and  Atlanta  Air  Line  Rail- 
road, the  great  short  route  between  New  York  and  New  Orlean,s,  and 
which  penetrates  some  of  the  richest  country  tributary  to  our  mar- 
ket, Charlotte  has  received  an  immense  impetus  to  the  cotton  trade. 
The  Atlantic,  Tennessee  and  Ohio  Railroad  has  poured  a  considera- 
trade  into  our  market.  The  upper  section  of  the  Carolina  Central, 
leading  from  Lincolnton  to  Charlotte,  has  been  equally  instrumental 
in  increasing  the  cotton  trade  here.  Countless  numbers  of  bales  have 
been  brought  to  Charlotte  from  the  direction  of  Chester  and  Rock 
Hill,  in  South  Carolina,  over  the  Charlotte,  Columbia  and  Augusta 
Railroad,  while  the  North  Carolina  Railroad  gives  the  people  all 
along  its  line,  from  Charlotte  to  Lexington,  however  paradoxical  it 
may  .seem,  a  market  in  Charlotte  for  their  cotton. 

In  1855,  the  annual  sales  of  cotton  on  this  market  was  less  than 
three  thousand  bales.  In  1860,  on  account  of  this  railroad  influence, 
the  trade  had  gradually  become  of  more  importance,  and  had  reach- 
ed twelve  thousand  bales.  The  four  years  of  the  war  (in  this  as  in 
nearly  all  industries),  paralyzed  all  tliis  interest,  except  to  furnish 
such  orders  as  were  needed  for  home  consumption,  and  the  market 
gradually  weakened  until  it  almost  ceased  to  exist. 

With  the  crop  of  18GG,  business  in  this  line  was  again  resumed, 
with  about  the  same  amount  on  the  market  as  in  1860 — 12,000  bales 
—since  which  time  it  has  increased  annually  until  for  the  fiscal 
year  ending  August  31st,  1874,  the  actual  .sales  reached  forty  thous- 
and bales.  The  present  year,  beginning  September  1st,  1874,  and 
ending  August  31st,  1875"  it  is  thought  with  a  smaller  average  crop, 
the  sales  will  not  fall  tar  short  of  fifty  thousand  bales,  some  thirty- 
five  thousand  bales  at  this  date— May  1st— having  already  been  of- 
fered and  sold  on  this  market.  These  figures  show  a  marvelous 
increase  in  the  trade,  which,  when  properly  known,  must  certainly 
still  further  augment  the  sales. 


142. 


CHARLOTTE  AS   A  WHOLESALE  MARKET. 

Contrary  to  theg'eiieral  laws  of  trade,  (,^har!otte  has  become  one  of 
tlie  leading!:  and  important  grocery  and  wholesale  markets  of  the 
.South,  We  say  contrary  to  the  general  laws  of  trade,  because  gro- 
ceries and  goods  at  wholesale  are  generally  very  heavy  articles  of 
merchandise,  and  the  people  are  in  the  habit  of  buying  such  goods 
in  quantities  at  our  sea-ports,  where  dealers  fiave  the  advantage  of 
shipping  facilities.  Water  carriage  has,  in  all  Hges,  been  the  cheap- 
est mode  of  transportation,  and  it  will  probably  ever  remain  so. 
Every  inland  city  then,  in  business  where  freights  are  heavy,  must 
have  some  advantage  to  enable  her  to  compete  successfully  with  her 
more  fortunate  sisters,  or  she  will  fall  behind  in  the  race  for  prefer- 
ment. Wliile  Charlotte  cannot  boast  of  a  sea-port,  she  is  the  termi- 
nus of  several  of  the  leading  railroads,  which  go  to  ujake  up  the 
iron  chain  that  links  the  destiny  of  our  common  country  into  one 
of  general  interest.  Ships  laden  with  the  famed  wealth  of  the  Indies 
do  not  pour  their  treasures  into  her  bosom  until  they  have  passed 
through  other  hands;  or,  if  the  merchandise  has  been  bought  and 
imported  by  our  own  merchants,  as  it  is  in  many  instances,  it  must 
pay  a  small  tribute  to  the  port  of  entrance,  but  by  being  able  to  get 
through  rates,  the  merchants  of  Charlotte  are  able  to  sell  such  goods 
at  a  very  slight  advance  on  prime  cost— so  slight,  indeed,  that  Char- 
lotte has  gained  the  reputati'^n,  and  justly  too,  of  being  the  cheap- 
est wholesale  market  in  the  South  away  irom  the  seashore.  She  en- 
joys the  enviable  advantage  of  being  located  at  the  terminus  of  raiN 
roads  leading  directly  to  Charleston,  Norfolk  and  Wilmington^ 
bringing  these  shipping  points  almost  to  our  door,  at  through  rates, 
and  thus  opening  up  the  markets  of  the  world  to  the  vast  trade 
which  centers  at  this  point.  The  wholesale  trade  before  the  war  was 
comparatively  a  small  business,  but  to  day  it  is  an  immense  one,  and 
promises  to  become  larger  still. 

Prominent  among  the  wholesale  interest  is  the  boot  and  shoe 
business.  This  market  furnishes  a  very  large  proportion  of  the  boots 
and  shoes  which  are  used  in  Western  North  Carolina  and  upper 
South  Carolina.  Many  of  the  country  merchants  in  this  part  of  the 
State  find  it  to  their  advantage  to  buy  these  goods  here  in  preference 
to  ordering  them  from  the  more  northern  markets.  We  are  able  to 
confirm  this  statement  by  a  recent  publication  in  the  American  Shoe 
and  Leather  Reporter,  of  JBoston,  which  in  a  tabular  statement  showed 
that  Charlotte  bought  many  more  shoes  in  Boston  than  any  city  in 
]Vorth  Carolina,  and  more  than  twice  as  much  even  as  Wilmington, 
and  that  there  were  only  four  other  cities  in  the  whole  South,  whose 
name  commences  with  the  letter  "  C,"  that  bought  more  boots  and 
shoes  than  Charlotte. 

The  most  extensive  boot  and  shoe  house  in  Charlotte  is  that  of 
Messrs.  Smith  &  Forbes.  This  house  has  been  in  business  for  more 
than  twenty  years,  and  last  year  did  a  busine.ss  of  at  least  $144,000, 
which  promises  the  present  year  to  be  largely  increased.  They  have 
recently  removed  into  a  large,  spacious  and  elegant  building  on 
Trade  street,  erected  especially  for  their  use,  which  is  not  excelled 
in  the  South.  Their  stock  is  large  and  varied,  comprising  a  full 
assortment  of  everything  in  their  line.  This  may  be  expected  as 
they  carry  a  stock  valued  at  from  sixty  to  eighty  tiiousnnd  dollars. 

Messrs.  Sample  &  Alexander  are  the  only  manufacturers  of  boots 
and  shoes  in  Charlotte,  except  a  number  of  private  shops.  These 
gentlemen  are  now  working  twenty-nine  hands,  and  are  carrying  a 


143 

stock  of  something  over  forty-five  thousand  clolh\rs  worth,  and  are 
doing  a  large  wholesale  trade.  They  too,  have  recently  removed 
into  a  new  building,  on  Trade  street,  and  are  occupying  two  stories 
and  the  basement  of  the  building  for  their  business. 

Messrs.  Wade  it  Pegram  are  carrying  on  the  largest  strictly  retail 
boot  and  shoe^storein  Charlotte.  Successors  to  the  well  known  house 
of  8-  B.  Meacham,  they  do  a  very  large  and  successful   business. 

We  may  truthfully  say  that  tlie  boot  and  shoe  business  is  the 
largest  business  of  any  other  one  line  carried  on  in  Charlotte,  and  it 
is  probably  worked  up  harder.  Competition  is  so  strong  between 
the  competing  houses  that  the  margin  for  profit  is  vf  ry  clcse,  which 
makes  it  all  the  better  for  buvers. 


THE  SCHOOLS  OF  CHARLOTTE. 

No  sketch  which  we  could  write  of  Charlotte  would  be  complete 
which  would  leave  out  her  schools,  and  although  we  know  that  the  time 
and  space  at  command  will  not  allow  justice  to  be  done  to  the  subject, 
we  cannot  pass  them  by  unnoticed.  In  a  former  part  of  this  sketch  we 
have  said  that  Davidson  College  is  the  "lineal  successor"  of  Queen's 
College,  which  was  in  existence  here  at  the  Revolutionary  War,  but  in 
several  other  schools  which  are  located  within  the  city,  that  noble  insti- 
tution has  powerful  allies  in  the  cause  of  education. 

The  Carolina  Military  Institute,  which  was  foimded  several  years 
previous  to  the  late  w-ar,  was  planned  by  the  immortal  Stonewall 
Jacksox,  and  first  presided  over  by  General  D.  H.  Hill,  now  the  editor  of 
the  Southern  Home.  It  was  regularly  opened  in  1850,  Gen.  Hill  being 
assisted  by  Gen.  .James  H.  Lane,  and  Col.  Charles  C.  Lee,  both  of  whom 
subseqently  sealed  their  devotion  to  their  country,  by  giving  up  their 
lives  in  their  country's  cause.  The  war  found  it  among  the  flourishing 
institutions  of  the  land,  but  it,  like  nearly  every  other  enterprise,  wither- 
ed as  if  poisoned  by  a  blast  from  the  upas  tree,  at  the  touch  of  the  hard 
iron  finger  of  war. 

Every  efibrt  to  resuscitate  the  school  after  the  war  tailed,  uiitil  the 
Fall  of  1873,  when  Col.  John  P.  Thomas,  of  South  Carolina,  conceived 
the  idea  of  establishing  a  school  which  would  embrace  within  the  scope 
of  its  aims,  the  young  men  of  both  North  and  South  Carolina,  and  his 
labors  have  been  crowned  w'ith  a  gratifying  success.  The  curriculum 
embraces  a  complete  graduating  course,  and  at  once  puts  the  Institute 
in  the  front  rank  among  the  colleges  of  the  South.  It  now  has  about 
one  hundred  and  twenty-five  students,  and  a  corps  of  Professors  which 
are  an  ornament  to  any  institution. 

Charlotte  Institute  for  Young  Ladies.— A  portion  of  the 
citizens  of  Charlotte,  anxious  to  have  a  female  school  of  high 
character,  in  1858  built  and  equipped  this  spacious  and  elegant 
building,  which  fronts  Ninth  and  College  streets,  and  which 
for  beauty  in  architecture,  convenience  of  arrangement,  and  adap- 
tation in  every  respect  to  the  purpo.ses  for  which  it  was  intended, 
is  ecjualled  by  few  institutions  of  the  kind,  and  probably  surpassed 
by  none  in  the  Southern  country.  The  Institute  was  under  the 
management  of  Rev.  R.  Burwell  until  the  fall  of  1873,  at  which  time 
it  was  taken  charge  of  by  Rev.  Dr.  R.  H.  Chapman  and  Mrs.  Verina 
S.  M.  Chapman,  as  principals,  with  an  able  corps  of  assistants.  The 
faculty  now  consists  of  Rev.  Dr.  R.  H.  Chapman,  A.  M.  D.  D.,  Pro- 
fessor of  Ancient  Languages,  Mental  and  Moral  Philosophy,  and 
Mrs.  Verina  S.  M.  Chapman,  in  charge  of  English,  Belles  Lettres 
and  French,  princijjals ;  Prof.  Stephen  Frontis,  Mathematics,  An- 


144 

cient  Languag:es  and  Philosophy  ;  General  Gabriel  J.  Rains,  Physical 
Science  and  Mathematics;  Prof,  aiul  Madame  DeCastro,  Modern 
Languages,  Vocal  and  Instrumental  Music.  Tlie  Boarol  of  Trustees 
are  J.  H.  AVilson,  Esq.,  President,  Col.  Wni.  Johnston,  Col  W.  R. 
Myers,  Hon.  W.  F.  Davidson,  Dr.  M.  M.  Orr,  and  Col.  John  L.  .More- 
head.  The  course  of  instruction  embraces  a  colleg'iate,  as  well  as  a 
preparatory  department,  and  graduates  are  furnished  with  diplomas 
of  as  liigh  grade  as  can  be  obtained  in  the  Southern  States.  On  the 
rolls  are  now  numbered  some  ninety  students.  The  present  princi- 
pals have  labored  hard  to  make  the  Institution  all  that  a  first  cla.ss 
school  for  young  ladies  ought  to  be,  and  deserve  the  patronage  of 
the  surrounding  country  in  a  much  more  extensive  manner  than 
they  now  receive.  Orphans  of  Confederate  soldiers,  and  the  daugh- 
ters of  ministers  of  all  denomination,s  are  at  all  times  invited  to 
secure  the  benefits  of  the  English  course  in  this  school  freeof  cliarge, 
and  the  full  course  if  the  teachers  of  accomplishments  concur  in  the 
desire  of  the  principals  on  this  subject.  Thorough,  quiet,  steady 
progress,  rather  than  exciting  exhibitions,  is  the  law  of  the  school. 
"  To  be  and  not  to  seem  "  is  the  chosen  motto  of  the  Institute. 

The  City  Graded  School,  now  a  tlourisiiing  Institution,  with 
three  hundred  and  fifty  students,  was  established  under  the  auspices 
of  the  Township  School  Committee  in  1878 — Rev.  J.  B.  Boone,  Gen. 
Ilufus  Barringer  and  Mr.  W.  H.  H.  Houston.  Rev.  Mr.  Boone  was 
appointed  Superintendent  and  still  holds  the  position.  During  the 
last  session  six  hundred  dollars  was  received  from  the  Peabody 
Fund  towards  the  maintenance  of  the  school,  and  this  year  one 
thousand  has  been  received  from  the  same  source,  and  not  less  than 
six  hundred  dollars  have  been  contributed  by  private  citizens  during 
the  present  scholastic  year.  Funds  have  been  received  from  the 
public  school  fund  of  the  State  to  an  amount  of  about  one  tliousand 
dollars  per  year.  Altogether  the  various  sums  contributed  have 
placed  the  Institution  on  a  solid  and  firm  foundation. 

This  school  is  yet  only  a  preparatory  one,  but  it  is  in  contempla- 
tion to  add  a  high  school  department.  It  is  divided  at  present  into 
ten  grades  under  seven  teachers.  Commencing  from  a  small  begins 
ning,  it  lias  progressed  until  it  has  become  a  necessity  which  is  in- 
valuable as  a  medium  of  education,  particularly  among  that  class 
of  our  citizens  who  are  mechanics,  or  are  persons  with  small  sala- 
ries, and  its  beneficial  effects  have  been  so  salutary  that  it  can  hard- 
ly be  di.scontinuecl.  While  it  is  rather  out  of  the  province  of  this 
sketch  ,  we  cannot  conclude  our  remarks  in  regard  to  this  school 
without  an  appeal  to  tlie  citizens  of  Charlotte  to  provide  buildings 
suitable  to  the  necessities  of  the  school.  The  benefits  of  this  school 
cannot  well  be  overestimated,  but  it  cannot  serve  the  purpose  for 
which  it  is  intended,  and  for  wliich  its  most  ardent  friends  could 
hope,  without  proper  buildings,  such  as  would  be  an  honor  to  the 
city  of  Charlotte,  and  a  useful  auxiliary  in  carrying  out  the  purposes 
of  education,  adequate  to  the  age  in  which  we  live. 

Macon  School,,  in  charge  of  Capt.  W.  A.  Barrier,  is  the  next  in 
importance  which  claims  our  attention.  This  school  nas  been  in 
operation^bout  two  years.  Its  design  is  to  prepare  boys  for  College, 
for  the  Freshman  and  Sophomore  classes.  There  are  at  present  only 
tlurty-five  students  in  attendance,  as  the  membership  is  select  and 
limited.  The  curiculum  embraces  a  full  academic  course  in  the 
ancient  languages,  and  the  higher  branches  of  English  and  mathe- 
matics, including  arithmetic,  algebra  and  geometry.  Its  object  fills 
a  needed  want  in  the  city  of  Charlotte,  and  deserves  all  the  patro 
nage  which  it  has  received.

The  Biddle  Memorial  Institite  is  a  normal  seliool  for  tlie 
(■(lucatioii  of  colored  perr^ons  for  the  ministry.  It  is  presided  over 
l»y  Rev.  S.  Mattoon,  D.  D.,  loiij;  a  missionary  in  Africa.  Ti-ie  names 
of  the  faculty  appears  elsewiiere  in  tliis  booic.  It  was  originally 
endowed  l)y  a  Miss  Biddh',  from  whom  it  takes  its  name,  and  by 
contriimtions  ol  private  citizens. 

Private  Schooi^s.  There  is  probably  no  city  in  the.  South  where 
education  is  held  tt)  be  of  as  much  importance  as  in  Charlotte.  In 
addition  to  the  schools  above  alluded  to  is  the  schools  of  the  Misses 
LonJ,^  Miss  Hattie  Moore,  Mrs.  L.D.Scott,  Miss  M.  Nesbit,  Miss 
Martha  Moore,  and  Miss  ('.  R  Watt,  to  which  may  beadded-the 
colored  Peabody  sciiools,  for  the  education  of  colored  children,  and 
ail  of  which  are  in  flourishing  condition. 

INDUSTRIES. 

Charlotte  is  a  commercial  city,  but  under  the  head  of  industries 
there  are  several  estabiisliments  which  desire  especial  mention. 

Wilkes'  FoiNdry  was  orioinally  the  old  Confederate  Navy 
Yard,  where,  however  paradoxical  it  may  seem,  much  work  was 
done  in  tittino-  out  the  Confederate  Navy,  durin«j  the  late  war.— 
Orijiinally  deflicated  to  Afars,  Mr.  Wilkes  bought  out  the  establish- 
ment and  veritably  moulded  the  sword  and  spear  into  the  pruning 
hook  and  the  plow  share,  emblems  of  peace  and  implements  of  agri- 
culture. He  has  succeeded  in  Ituilding  up  the  largest  iron  foundry 
in  North  Carolina.  Here  all  classes  of  the  iron  foundry  business  is 
done,  Mr.  W.  employing  not  less  than  fifty  hands.  This  establish- 
ment has  a  rival  in  the  foundry  of  Mr.  W.  F.  Cook,  who  does  a  very 
lart'e  and  "uccessful  business  in  casting  plow-sliares  and  in  making 
and  dealing  in  other  agricultural  implements.  Both  are  doing  a 
good  business,  and  we  only  wish  there  were  a  dozen  sucli  establish- 
ments, instead  of  two. 

Under  this  head  may  lie  very  properly  introduced  the  branch 
establishment  of  the  Ti^rie  City  Iron  Works,  located  on  College  Street. 
These  works  at  Erie,  Pa.,  have  long  been  noted  for  the  superiority 
of  their  machinery,  and  in  order  to  accommodate  their  tncreasjng 
trade  in  this  section  the  company  have  located  a  branch  establish- 
ment here  which  offers  every  facility  of  the  present  house. 

OTHER  MANUFACTORIES. 

The  prosjiect  for  business  in  Charlotte,  after  the  war,  and  aftei- 
the  completion  of  the  railroads  which  have  been  built  since  that 
time,  all  centering  here,  caused  a  large  influx  of  population.  The 
demand  for  dwelling  houses  and  places  of  business,  made  the  build- 
ing of  a  large  number  of  houses  a  matter  of  necessity,  and  to  supplj) 
the  demand  for  building  material  Mr.  F.  W.  Ahrens  started  a  steam 
planing  mill,  and  sash,  door  and  blind  factory,  which,  being  incapa- 
ble of  supplying  the  demand,  was  followed  by  the  establishment  of 
the  same  kind  by  Jonas  Rudisill.  These  weresubsequently  followed 
by  the  establishment  of  Mr.  Joseph  Asbury.  All  three  of  which  are 
now  in  a  flourishing  condition,  and  so  far  as  we  know  are  meeting 
the  demands  of  the  people,  employing  not  less  thsn  one  hundred 
and  fifty  hands. 

The  Dixie  Pump  Works  deserves  a  passing  notice,  as  Mr.  E.  M. 
Andrews  claims  the  best  pump  manufactory  in  the  Southern  States. 
His  business  employs  a  large  force)  and  his  pumps  are  rapidly  suc- 
ceeding all  other  pumps  throughout  this  section  of  country.

THE  NEWSPAPERS. 


Surrounded  as  the  city  of  Charlotte  always  has  heeu,  by  an  indus- 
trious, intelligent,  hospitable  and  ])roti,ressive  people  it  is  considered 
a  tine  field  for  newspapers,  and  now  supports  more  of  them  than  any 
city  of  its  size  in  the  Southern  States.  It  was  our  purpose  in  the  coni- 
nn^ncement  of  this  sketch  to  s^ive  a  liistory  of  each  newspaper  which 
exists  now,  or  has  ever  existed  in  Charlotte,  but  Itoth  time  and  space  pre- 
cludes such  a  pct^sibility  now,  and  we  will  merely  remark  en  pii>i.-i(Uit, 
that  the  news})afjers  of  Charlotte,  are  all  in  a  thriving  condition,  and 
give  mucja  \)njx\me  op^uture  usefulness. 


THE  DRUG  BUSINESS. 


./ 


/i^ 


Charlott^  soils  the  drugs  for  a  large  section  of  tlie  cotuifry,  and  sup- 
ports five  Urug  stores.  The  city  and  surrounding  country"  is  healthy, 
and  the  climate  salubrious,  and"  it  becomes  a  matter  of  speculation  as  to 
what  liecomes  of  all  the  drugs  annually  introduced  or  compounded  in 
Charlottd,  but  the  fact  is  explained  when  it  is  recollected  that  we  sujjply 
(princii)ajly)  the  drugs  for  not  less  than  twenty-five  countii's  in  North 
-  and  South .Garolina. 
t 

POPULATION. 

The  census  of  1870,  taken,  we  are  informed,  by  an  individual  who 
knew  little  or  nothing  about  Charlotte  or  its  people,  fit iled  to  mnkc  a 
true  exhil)it  of  tlie  number  of  pe^>ple  who  lived  here,  and  consetiucntly 
the  population  has  been  litth^  better  than  a  matter  of  speculntion.  Fn^m 
calculatif)ns  made  by  the  pid)lishers  of  this  directory,  which  may  be  re- 
lied on,  the  population  of  the  city  is  not  less  than  nine  thousand. 


•  CONCLUSION. 

At  the  outset,  tlu;  writer  intcn<led  tliis  sketcli  to  be  nmch  more  com- 
prehensive than  it  is,  but  the  time;  in  which  it  had  to  be  picpared,  to- 
gether with  the  heavy  pressure  of  other  business,  has  made  it  necessarily 
incomiilete.  The  most  of  the  material  has  been  gatliered,  and  theskctcii 
has  been  written  inside  of  forty-eight  hours,  at  a  time  when  our  whol(> 
time  Wiis  demanded  for  our  otlier  duties.  iNIuch  of  it  has  been  written 
amid  the  confusicm  incident  to  the  editorial  rooms  of  a  daily  newspaper, 
and  in  the  absen<-e  of  one  of  the  editors,  actually  giving  the  writer 
trel)le  duty.  Many  of  the  pages  have  l)een  thrown  to  the  ]»rinter  before 
the  ink  was  dry,  Avitli  no  opportunity  for  revision.  If  it  answers  the 
]iur])osc  forw'hich  it  was  intended,  thsit  of  introducing  the  stranger  to 
our  l)eautiful  little  city,  'we  shall  be  satislied.  If  it  fails  to  be  that 
which  our  friends  would  have  it  thev  must  take  the  will  for  the  deed.
